Game LVI: Rays @ Twins

A series split is possible. Yippie ky-ya.

I liked this photo from yesterday's game. Professional photographers do good work.

I hate the goddamn Internet right now, so no jokes from me today. There will be a recap later. Here are numbers for the starting pitchers. Drew Smyly throws a moving fastball that gets people out when they guess wrong, and is walloped for homers when they guess right, plus off-speed stuff. Tyler Duffey had a bad spring and bad last start; in between, he's been effective with his big-breaking curveball.
